Just thought I'd chime in that I had a 4K yesterday on mirage which included a close noscope and it was fun and cool. Playing with public matchmaking can be hilarious sometimes if you are on the right side of things. Maybe I'll start goonmanning again. CS is always my fallback game when I get bored with other stuff, does anyone else find that to be true?

The rule is that you buy HE grenades all the time until the one round you don't and then the bomb is ticking down and it's 1 on 1 and you both have 10 health and you know he's just around the corner waiting.

This, plus if you know they're in A ramp, throw a loving grenade in there. Even if you only hit a guy for 40 with it, you've done enough to justify the $300. That's the difference between a teammate getting his poo poo pushed in by that guy and going "uuuuuugh, 76 in 3, bullshit" and getting the kill and hopefully not dying.

I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

Grenades are good, especially when you run around corners with them in your hand, I suggest doing that with primed flashes when you're the front man of a rush, you will win games.

Sure they do. You can't just throw them anywhere. You have to think about where you want to land. That's thought and planning, even if it's only planning 5 seconds before you throw the nade.


That's 5 seconds planning too much.

I'm assuming this is a troll but if thinking for 5 seconds is difficult for you...:lol:

If you really don't understand how a single pop flash for retake or to counter a push is useful then I really don't know what to say.

Report them. It probably won't do poo poo but if you report someone it prevents you from getting matched with them again.

5 seconds of planning is a lot when your usual plan is "which spot am I going to run to with this p90?"

That's my plan 90% of the time.

I am serious. I never said it's not useful, I said I don't want to do that. I just want to run at people and shoot them.


And I'm fairly successful at doing that, seeing as I bounce between SMFC and LEM.



I don't care about being "competitive". If I did, I'd join a competitive team and actually practice.

Doesn't seem like it would bother this guy. He just wants to run at and shoot people. What's the harm of a lovely spawn and wasting 3 seconds. When you die in competitive you have to wait minutes sometimes.

It's nice and predictable, and has a pretty clear learning curve, even if it is hard as balls.

That, and there is nothing as thrilling as the crazy clutch stuff you can pull off. It's the only game I know of where sound and vision matters so much.

It is hilarious how often people tend to pull nades out right when someone is going to push/peek them aka the only truly wrong time to have them out

I kind of agree...if your grenade is in your hands for more than two seconds, that means two things are at play.

1) You don't know why you bought the grenade in the first place
2) You are exposed and subject to getting shot in the face

If you know why you need them and how to use them, you won't die to those dumb peeks where your pants are down and you're furiously rubbing yourself while a gun is in your face

I'll add you in a bit, me and a few non-goons are LE~ and usually play on the weekend and sometimes after work. What you knew as DMG hell back in the day is mostly eagle hell now.

My girlfriend really wants to try and play CS with me but she is absolutely terrified of getting steamrolled since the majority of her gaming experience stems from console FPS.

Ive mentioned the hilariously unforgiving learning curve multiple times, but I've also combined it with how satisfying it is to be a feared one-man wrecking crew in this game than any other (save for OG Quake or UT).

CS isn't for her. Start playing knowing you're poo poo or don't bother.

Oh yeah, I really don't think she'd fair too well, but she is an insanely good poo poo talker, so that would probably be the only saving grace to a bad CS experiment.

I'm really poo poo, but CS is segregated enough by skill that I don't get hilariously stomped unless I'm playing goonman.

The new player experience is waaaay better then when I attempted to play Source.
